4th Alabama Cavalry

@observator
It wasnt clear why you posted this Find-A-Grave memorial but I found the text very interesting. It lists names of many veterans of the 4th Alabama Cavalry and their current hometown.
My wife had an ancestor from Tishomingo County Mississippi who served in Moreland's Cavalry, which merged with the 4th Alabama Cav.

Here is the intro of the text;

"The Gurley Herald 29 AUG 1912

My ancestor G.W.Ervin also served in that regiment for some time.
 
My GG grandpa, Drury (D.J.) Johnson, from Morgan County, AL, was in Company D (Russell's) 4th AL Cavalry. So far, I have learned very little about his service. There were several men from eastern Morgan County in his company. If you have not read " With Sabre and Scalpel" by John A. Wyeth. it is a great book. He was from Guntersville, AL and served in Company I (Russell's) 4th AL Cavalry, and a very famous doctor and author after the war. I also found a letter from David Crockett Stuart, from Morgan County, AL. who served in Company D 4th AL Cavalry.
